I haven't checked to see if any Fink packages use the Java module, but Fink's dependency engine seems to be better about handling cases where a single .info file with splitoffs is converted into two or more .info files (carve-offs?), each with a reduced set of BuildDepends. This way, the base ppl package wouldn't need to depend on Java, but there would still be a Java option if someone has installed all the external dependencies. The nice thing for end users is that if it's the same source file, they most likely already have it in /sw/src (and they won't need to re-download it for the Java carve-off). Barring any general objections from the list, let me know if you want help testing something like that. I could probably remove the Java headers from one of my machines here and not run into any other problems outside Fink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
